It takes advantage of the “value-added” focus of Lean while maintaining the statistical rigors of Six Sigma. This series will include four full-day training sessions with two weeks between sessions for participants to complete project work that is an essential part of the LSSGB program. This popular course will fill fast so save your seat ASAP.

This presentation on Process Mapping will be a hands-on workshop, where attendees will learn and apply easy to use tools to create a visual representation of a process that they currently utilize in their daily activities.
The purpose is to understand the “Current State” of a specific process (how information and products flow through an organization), and then design a preferred “Future State” of this process. From there, we will discuss improvement strategies to close the gap between our Current State and our Future State.
